ABSTRACT

The aim of this chapter to is to illustrate the traditional and modern techniques to deliver a high concrete quality match with the current standards. Readymix concrete is most popular in some countries, whereas other countries mix on site. Based on a study by El-Reedy, ready-mix concrete can provide high quality so it can be match with less conservative design. However in some countries, a more conservative and restricted code is needed to cover the uncertainty of concrete mixed on-site.
